Hey.
:07:06
And it follows if there's no real hell, there
can't be a real heaven. Right, Jim boy?

:07:10
Why don't you get to the point?
:07:13
Do you believe Jesus Christ
can give us life everlasting?

:07:25
Do you believe Jesus Christ
can give us life everlasting?

:07:31
- I'd love to believe it.
- But you don't?

:07:35
No.
:07:40
Then you don't accept
Jesus Christ as divine, do you?

:07:54
Well?
:07:59
Jesus was a great, virtuous teacher.
His faith and courage changed the worid.

:08:04
Do you accept Jesus Christ as divine?
:08:11
Let me say... I have doubts.
:08:14
- That's blasphemy!
- Mr Babbitt, to doubt is not blasphemy.

:08:18
When you say "blasphemy", you mean
"Don't dare disagree. Don't think."

:08:22
"Don't doubt."
:08:24
But Tolstoy, Darwin, Jefferson, Lincoln -
they had the same doubts.

:08:30
Then they'll burn in hell, too!
:08:33
Mr Eddington, in spite of
Mr Lefferts' confessed bigotry,

:08:37
I defend your right to publish these
articles. But give us equal rights.

:08:41
- Your reply'll be published prominently.
- Mr Eddington, I'm no writer.

:08:45
Now, Jim is brilliant and witty.
Uses words like a stiletto.

:08:48
He learned from Mencken, Ingersoll,
Sinclair Lewis, other atheists.

:08:52
- Atheists!
- But you own a radio station.

:08:54
Set the time. Half an hour.
Tonight? Tomorrow? Name it.

:08:57
Every day for two weeks -
half-hour in the morning and evening.
